Kathy Griffin Fired by CNN After Disturbing Trump Beheading Stunt

Comedian Kathy Griffin has been fired by CNN and will no longer host its New Year’s Eve special following the disturbing photo of her holding up a decapitated bloodied head that looked like the president.

The My Life on the D-List star has provided New Year’s Eve coverage alongside Anderson Cooper since 2007.

Meanwhile, the image has elicited a strong reaction from those closest to the president, including First lady Melania Trump, who called the image "very disturbing" in a statement to Inside Edition.

“As a mother, a wife, and a human being, that photo is very disturbing,” she said. “When you consider some of the atrocities happening in the world today, this is simply wrong and makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it.”

The first lady is beside herself because her 11-year-old son, Barron, was watching TV at Trump Tower when the gruesome photo appeared on the screen, according to reports.
